Dennis Waterman obituary: British TV star from The Sweeney, Minder and New Tricks
Thanks to George Carter, Terry McCann and Gerry Standing, Dennis Waterman, who has died at the age of 74, became such a familiar face on British television that audiences felt they knew him. Yet, away from these iconic roles in crime series The Sweeney (1974 to 1978), Minder (1979 to 1989) and New Tricks (2003 and 2015), Waterman’s career was full of surprises.
His early years are particularly fascinating. The ninth child of a British Rail ticket collector who encouraged his sons to box, Waterman was born in Clapham on 24 February 1948. At the age of seven, he appeared in The Winter’s Tale at the Southwark Shakespeare Festival and was taken on by the Corona Academy. While at stage school, he made his feature debut as a diabetic son believing he’s on an adventure with his fugitive father in Night Train for Inverness. He was even more impressive as the boy who fibs about being turfed off a bus by the conductor in Snowball (both 1960).
